This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I fail to see what about this is not factual.

Edit: y'all I was making a joke about the second comment, I thought that would be obvious

That the US is not also a shithole...

I agree, but I also think this is cherry picked. There are countries that are quite monoethnical that are doing quite well eg. Switzerland and Japan. Also I don't think USA is such a great place to live, even if it where the "worlds #1 superpower, whatever that means". Great military doesn't make a country nice to live in. Switzerland and France are much better in my opinion.

Calling switzrland monoethnical is a crime against humanity. Also they don't do so well in some rewards.

Majority white, with a chunk of Hispanic and a small dash of Asian and African...

Is the US really the "most diverse"? Seems like Canada has a better mix or even somewhere in Europe?

[–] palebluethought@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Not sure where you'd get that idea...

Black population is not that far off from Hispanic (18 vs 12%) and white is barely a majority.

Canada is much more dominantly white (70% vs 56%) with lower representation of every other group compared to US. Everywhere in Europe is much higher than that (80+%).

Of course all this is based on coarse Western racial categories, if you look at individual ethnicities then it's gotta be India or somewhere in Africa.
